It is utterly surreal that any of the Bush administration, especially Rumsfeld, Cheney and Bush are walking around free men. This is our national embarrassment.

All of them are directly responsible for the murder of tens of thousands of innocent Iraqis as well as the deaths of over 4000 American soldiers, victims of Iraqi terrorists fathers and sons protecting their homes and families.

I used to wonder if Code Pink did more harm than good, making progressive ideas look ridiculous. More recently, especially since the Obama administration decided to participate in the cover-up of Bush crimes, I think Code Pink is needed.
